READMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Prospective students who were previously enrolled are required to complete the following steps to reapply for admission to Lawson State Community College: • Submit an updated Application for Admission if the student has not attended a fall or spring term within the academic year. An updated Application will not be required for students who enrolled during spring but did not enroll for the following summer term. • Request transcripts from other colleges and universities attended since leaving Lawson. Transcripts should be sent to the Office of Admissions & Enrollment Management at Lawson State Community College, if such transcripts are not in the student’s academic record. • Submit Selective Service Verification if appropriate. A student who has a break in enrollment may be required to study under the catalog currently in use at the time of re-admission. A returning student who is on academic or disciplinary suspension from any other college(s) must appeal in writing to the Admissions Appeals/Grievance Committee in care of the Director of Admissions & Enrollment Management.
11.Transient or transfer international students must submit a Transient/Transfer Clearance Form signed by the foreign student advisor at the institution from which the prospective student comes. Further, transfer students must submit a copy of the Form I-20 from the institution from which the student transfers. An international student applicant who fails to provide the required documentation will not be admitted to any Alabama Community College System institution. Other non-immigrant students must meet all ACCS admission requirements as well as provide documentation of immigration status as prescribed by the institution. Admission to an ACCS institution does not ensure admission to any individual program or course. Institutions are expected to comply with all applicable accreditation requirements and standards regarding program admission.
CHANGE OF PROGRAM
Students may change their program by completing a Change of Major Request Form , which is available in the Student Resources section of the College’s website. The student’s current program advisor should review the degree plan and transcript before signing, indicating that the student qualifies for the new program. The student’s permanent record will reflect a change of program upon submission of the signed form to the Office of Student Records. Students planning to transfer to another college or university are cautioned that the receiving institution may use all grades earned in computing grade point averages for admission or other purposes .
